Hello LGM Family,
Too much of my prayer life lately has been focused on asking God for help and I realize that I've spent far too little time just thanking Him for the wonderful blessings He's bestowed on me and my family. I have a beautiful wife and two precious children, a good job, a talented but humble worship band and a large and loving church family. I also woke up today able to breathe and eat and walk and read and that's a blessing that many people don't enjoy. Most of all, though, the God of all the universe wants to have a personal relationship with me for all of eternity and doesn't love me any less because I'm imperfect.
I think too often non-believers (and even some of the saints) tend to define Christians based on the things that we're not allowed to do. I know we honor God by following His commandments, but I think we're missing out on even more joy (for us and God) if we don't also take every chance we have every day to just appreciate the infinite beauty of God's creation and His unending love.
You guys have been a real encouragement to me and I thank God that there are brothers and sisters like you out there. He might not have an account, but I see Christ posting on this board through you.
